Coming Back to Center Yoga Retreat

Coming Back to Center invites practitioners to gather what has scattered across the demands of daily life and reconnect with the quieter ground beneath constant doing. Over four nights at Drala Mountain Center in the Colorado mountains, this retreat explores hara, an Eastern concept referring both to the lower belly and to an inner center of gravity from which steadiness becomes possible. Through a careful weaving of Yin and Yang yoga, meditation, breathwork, somatic inquiry, Internal Family Systems depth psychology, and Buddhist contemplative teachings, participants examine the anatomical and energetic landscape of the belly and core. The faculty work with the diaphragm, psoas, pelvic floor, and breath-nervous system relationship as gateways to presence and embodiment. The retreat balances dynamic morning practices with quieter afternoon sessions, meditation, inquiry, and spacious time within the mountain landscape. All levels are welcome. The underlying invitation is not to accomplish something new, but to recognize the centeredness that becomes available when attention stops abandoning the body's ground.
